INTRODUCTIONIts politics and economy in 60s and
80sMao thought that the leaders and the people in China are deviating from its
revolutionary original Communist principle. He introduced these
programs in order to make speedy progress to compete with the West.

MAO MOVES ONMao believed that socialism would eventually triumph over all other
ideologies, and following the First Five-Year Plan based on a Soviet-style
centrally controlled economy, Mao took on the ambitious project of the Great Leap Forward in 1958, beginning an
unprecedented process of collectivization in rural areas..

MAO MOVES ON
Mao urged the use of communally organized iron smelters to increase
steel production, pulling workers off of agricultural labor to the point that
large amounts of crops rotted unharvested.
![Page 12: China Presentation](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070316/55589111d8b42aa6708b4590/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MAO MOVES ON TO CONTINUE GREAT LEAP FORWARD
Mao decided to continue to advocate these smelters despite a visit to a factory steel mill which proved to him that high quality steel could only be produced in a
factory; he thought that ending the program would dampen peasant
enthusiasm for his political mobilization, the Great Leap Forward.

EFFECT OF GREAT LEAP FORWARD
Because of Mao's land reforms during the Great Leap Forward, which resulted in
massive famines, thirty million perished between 1958 and 1961. By the end of 1961 the birth rate was nearly cut in half because of malnutrition. Active campaigns, including party purges and "reeducation" resulted in
the imprisonment or execution of those deemed to hold views contrary to Maoist
ideals.

EFFECT OF GREAT LEAP FORWARD
The implementation of Maoist thought in China may have been responsible for over 70 million
excessive deaths during peacetime with the Cultural Revolution, Anti-Rightist Campaign of 1957-58,[ and
the Great Leap Forward.

EFFECT OF GREAT LEAP FORWARD
Mao's failure with the Leap reduced his power in government, whose
administrative duties fell to Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping.

EFFECT OF GREAT LEAP FORWARD
1. Background of Cultural Revolution was created.
2. Mao’s Wife Jiang emerged in power.
3. Mao’s leadership was questioned

CULTURAL REVOLUTION
Red Guards terrorized the streets as many ordinary citizens were deemed counter-revolutionaries. Education and public transportation came to a nearly complete halt. Daily life involved shouting slogans and reciting Mao quotations.

CULTURAL REVOLUTION
To impose socialist orthodoxy and rid China of "old elements", and at the same time serving certain political goals, Mao began the Cultural Revolution in May 1966. The campaign was far reaching into all aspects of Chinese life.

CULTURAL REVOLUTION
Many prominent political leaders, including Liu and Deng, were purged and deemed "capitalist-roaders". The
campaign would not come to a complete end until the death of Mao
in 1976.

GANG OF FOUR
The Gang of Four was a group of Chinese Communist Party officials who were arrested
after the death of Mao Zedong and largely blamed for the events of the Chinese Cultural
Revolution. The Gang of four, led by Mao Zedong, and then, after his death, Zedong's widow,
Madame Mao Jiang Qing, was responsible for several purges of the Communist Party of China
and an estimated 500,000 executions and imprisonments of activists and citizens.

GANG OF FOUR
After Mao Zedong died on September 9, 1976, The Gang of Four tried to seize power
and continue Zedong's extreme leftist policies. However, less than a month later, the four were arrested and imprisoned. A
public trial was held in 1981: Jiang Qing and Zhang Chunqiao refused to repent or show
remorse for their crimes and were sentenced to death, although the sentences were later
reduced to life in prison.

DENG XIAOPING
Deng XiaoPing the former paramount leader of China, was born into a Hakka family in
Guang'an County in Sichuan province. Deng's ancestors could be traced back to Meixian. He was educated in France, as were many
notable Asian revolutionaries (such as Ho Chi Minh, Zhou Enlai, and Pol Pot), where he
discovered Marxism-Leninism..

DENG XIAOPING
Deng gradually emerged as the de-facto leader of China in the few years following
Mao's death in 1976. Prior to Mao's death, the only governmental position he held was that of First Vice-Premier of the
State Council.

DENG XIAOPING
Under Deng's direction, relations with the West improved remarkably. Deng traveled abroad and had a series of amicable meetings with western leaders, and became the first Chinese leader to
visit the United States in 1979, meeting with President Carter at the White House. Shortly
before this meeting, the U.S. had broken diplomatic relations with the Republic of China
(Taiwan) and established them with the People's Republic of China (PRC).

REFORMS UNDER DENG XIAOPING
Deng's reforms actually included the introduction of planned, centralized
management of the macro-economy by technically proficient bureaucrats,
abandoning Mao's mass campaign style of economic construction.

REFORMS UNDER DENG XIAOPING
At the local level, material incentives, rather than political appeals, were to be used to motivate the labor force, including allowing peasants to earn
extra income by selling the produce of their private plots at free market.

REFORMS UNDER DENG XIAOPING
The reforms centered on improving labor productivity as well. New material incentives and bonus

communes were revived.
